Balancia: ‘Great Honors’

“These are great honors and we are excited and happy to be rewarded for our hard work,” said Balancia. “With photographers Heather Harris, Suzanne Allison, Alyson Camus as well as writers like Craig Hammons, John Daly and Dan MacIntosh we have a great team.”

Great Articles and Content

CaliforniaRocker.com has interviewed many influential music-industry professionals in its four years of online publication. Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt, Mike Campbell and many others have taken the time to work with the magazine.

At a time when journalism is under attack and reporters, editors and “content creators” are being cut from jobs, Balancia and her team keep moving forward.

“It has been an incredibly challenging year not only for me, but for all creative types like musicians, artists and journalists,” Balancia said. “But we must focus on what we love to do and keep improving every day.”

Balancia said she has received a great deal of support from colleagues.

“I appreciate all the efforts of the great musicians, producers, publicists, agents and venues who have supported CaliforniaRocker,” Balancia said. “We look forward to many more years.”
